Take Action: Support Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Funding in FY20

In light of the proposed cuts in the President’s budget blueprint, we are looking to our bipartisan Congressional champions to restore funding to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative in the FY2020 budget. Please reach out to your Representatives and ask them to join a letter to the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior and Environment that funds the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative at $300 million in the next fiscal year.

You may contact your Member of Congress via the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121.
